Although I am not sure what all the terms mean, that poem is so true. I went into one of the petstores in town. There were so many puppies there. Just in time for xmas the sign said on their windows. Buy me, Buy me, they had labs, even a chocolate lab, chis, shihtz-zus, schnausers, and a think a few labradoodles. I held Joey up to the window, to take a look. I am so glad he never came from a place like that.

most EXCELLENT... and so true. pets are not merchandise, they are living, feeling beings who need a LOT more respect than we're giving them, on the whole... imagine if the sale of cats and dogs in puppy stores would be outlawed... i can hear the thump of puppy mill doors closing by the score....
